If this is an udev issue, then please, please file a bug report about it to make sure it gets fixed instead of working around the problem. Have a look at the reportbug package for this. There was a similar issue with network cards a while back, but it is now fixed and they are now always assigned the same device nodes. -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 760BDD22
